Google Datally App Launched in India Meant to Help Save Mobile Data

Jeannie Evans

Google has launched a new app to help solve one of the biggest and most irritating problems for smartphone users - running out of data. Datally shows your real-time data usage for each application inside a bubble icon and gives you an easy way to block it from using more in the meantime.

"Once Data Saver is turned on, Datally'sData Saver bubble will appear when a user goes into an app that is allowed to use data".

Google isn't finished with the app yet either advising that new features including Balance checking and balance expiration reminders as well as Proactive data usage warnings and controls will be tested in selected markets.

Datallys sets up a VPN connections which allows it to monitor traffic

Previously, Googleannounced a peer-to-peer payment app aimed at Indian consumers and a low-bandwidth version of YouTube.

He said that the number of people watching videos on the internet is growing by 66% annually while social media users are increasing by 35% per year, adding that 80% of the users surf the internet through mobile phones. "We've been testing Datally in the Philippines for the past few months, and people are saving up to 30 percent on their data". Based on our limited time with Datally and the app's description on the Play Store, it doesn't like this functionality is still implemented. Once you're done, don't forget to rate the network quality to help other users. Datally only works when it has permission to users' SMS and phone apps, as well as their location.

Control Data: Secondly the app helps control your data usage. Tap that option and you will find individual apps which you can block or control it from using mobile data. The menu should also show data usage by application, which should provide some insight into what apps are eating more than their fair share of the data pie. A lot of them offer options to turn off a feature or service to lessen needed data to load. The difference, though, is that this standalone app is much more direct and user friendly. For instance, you can access features built into Android that will tell you how apps are using data.
